Arsenal. General football. More Arsenal.
I'm all for refs letting the game go if both sides are keen on bashing each other up, but what always baffles me is how they decide they have to change their decision making based on where on the pitch something is. A defensive third shoulder barge is fine but an offensive third one isn't?

Ah look another season another set of absolute PGMOL incompetence.
Genuinely shambolic and have completely changed the direction of the match.
Can't even stick to their own tenets. No wonder people believe in conspiracies

Can't wait for today but I think it's going to be one of the weirder games of the season
2 teams trying to evolve & bed in new options but not yet there. Might look back on it & see it was the start of something for either team but could also see it being unrecognisable by the end of the year

Perhaps people can now be a little bit calmer...
Time and patience. Everything needs time to gel but a lot of the pieces are there already

Yesterday was wonderful - superb performance from the ladies and a masterclass from Renee.
I left the ground feeling a bit heartbroken after the 1st Lyon leg, and to turn that around and cap it with this is unbelievable.
It's great to see such an outpouring of love and support for the team too ❤️

Biggest worry is just how consistently flat odegaard is though.
No imagination, no execution. Just shitty scoop passes.

We probably won't win anything this season, but that's a win that will keep me going for a long long time

Some small measure of Justice.
I hope we can take that anger and channel it into performance.
Massive win.
BIG RICKY!

Bloody wonderful night yesterday.
Top commitment start to finish.
Sure we've still got some attacking blues but that was much more like it and we were all over them.
Atmosphere was rocking in the first half but you could really feel the nerves creeping in in the second.

That's some nice news to read, even if it is a summer fix and doesn't solve what we're going through at the moment.

Somehow in a season of absolutely bullshit games full of ridiculous refereeing the most bullshit of them all is entirely uncontentious.
We've been absolutely scammed tonight

Brighton got lucky.
We weren't at 100%.
It is what it is.
Lots still to play for in the cups.
Just need to stay alive in them for long enough that we can capitalise when the good stuff comes back.

Merino is tidy, I just want him to play a bit more like he's an integral piece and not like he's worried about stepping on toes.
Odegaard just can't get anything right at the mo. Might be time to ditch the goatee.

It's a shame all three promoted teams are so obviously going back down or we could have a really fun press round in a couple of weeks

First half was a grind but the second half was genuinely fun and at times reminded me of the excitement of our break out period with Gabi.
More of that please!
